I don't disagree with the data, but the conclusion might be wrong. Lost has been a lesson in bad implementation. Billing the first 6 or 8 eps as a separate arc that failed to deliver, lengthy hiatus, etc. 24 was extremely successful with the late start in every year of its existence until this...

For me, it's not enough to be better than everything else, and I don't think it is anymore. This last season did not live up to its past nor to the show's potential. To me, that's a major problem. It was and could be better. But instead, we got plots and facts that are inconsistent with what we...

I love the show, but have lost some enthusiasm. I want to thank Ron Moore for his vision to rehabilitate a great concept. 33 may be one of my most favorite tv hours ever. The desperation in that episode was phenomenal. I also want to credit his novel thinking in what seemed like small pieces...

I preferred the show when it wasn't about Earth. Sure it was always a goal to get there, but it wasn't about "let's see how many connections we can draw to Earth and Earth mythology." I bought into the explanation of the conventional Earth clothing and language that Moore didn't want...

Re the legal issue of Roslin talking to Lee, it's not that big a deal. Witnesses often go outside of what they are asked or find a way to explain a previous answer if they aren't given a chance when being cross examined. Usually, the other party's attorney will begin her redirect by saying "you...

Is the assumption that Baltar's greatest crime was 'leading the Cylons to New Caprica?' That makes no sense whatsoever. Adama and the military knew that the nuke would leave a signature before they settled on the planet. As a scientist, I imagine Baltar knew this too, but the mistake was not...

That point is a bit blurry. Athena mentioned something to Tyrol when she came back with Helo that she cared for him. But other than that, it's been pretty clear that they are all independent. Athena (pledging allegiance to the humans) and Six (killing D'Anna, organizing the takeover of New...

I don't follow anything outside this thread and don't watch previews, so that was completely unexpected. I'll hold out hope that her death will serve some plot purpose, but for now, I don't get it. Bringing her back as a cylon would be pretty crummy IMO. I do not need to know who the final 5...

I agree with your conclusion about not being afraid to push boundaries. I think Roslin was being sarcastic when she mentioned the book burning. She is the former secretary of education after all.

The trial of a former President is not going to happen overnight. There is a lot of prep work and they've given us a look into it, bit by bit. First, Zarek mentions what a firestorm it will be. Then, they recruit Apollo to set up the tribunal, or court system. All that takes time. Last night...

I agree. Most of the complaints have centered around "not getting back to the main storyline" but I think in some part they are misdefining what is the main storyline. To me, it is traveling through space under desperate circumstances, not knowing how to get there or how long it will take. I...

I apologize for starting a red herring. I rewatched the beginning of the ep last night and there is a quick shot of the resurrection ship right before Athena emerges from the goop. My take is that they do resurrect on board the resurrection ship. Then, Six, (off camera) assisted her in bringing...

So, they resurrect into the basestars, but a resurrection ship must be present for that to occur? That seems odd considering the emphasis put on how special the resurrection ship was. I'll live with it. :)

Thanks. Missed that.

Something I just considered - was there a plot hole in this ep when Sharon downloaded? Did she download directly to the base star? Why did she not download to a resurrection ship and then need to take a heavy raider over to the base star to get to Hera? I guess we can assume she got there...

I don't think it makes sense to analyze it like you would in shooting another human. The laws don't apply since Athena was not likely to 'die.' It's also a little different when Athena was working with Helo to shoot herself. It's plainly obvious by what Helo has endured to bring Sharon back into...

I don't know how Caprica Six gains anyone's trust. She was the key to the annihilation of the colonies and all. Athena didn't have any past crimes against humans to answer for.

I don't see the pardon only applying to people 'in the fleet' at the time it was issued as being an impediment. That's not Baltar's biggest obstacle. He has post-New Caprica and post-pardon activities to answer for, such as helping the cylons look for Earth and negotiating for the eye of...

Why did Six kill Boomer after knocking her unconscious? She then revives instantly and can start screaming that Six and Athena took Hera. Isn't this the same mistake Boomer made when getting the launch keys on New Caprica. Both times, the mistake carried no ramifications as Caprica and Athena...

I admire you guys for keeping the thread alive during the hiatus. And it's been pretty civil. Even with all of the theories of where the series is going to go. Who knows where Moore is going to take the series. He could jump it forward 20 years. Or the next two seasons could comprise 18 months...

Or they had a plan, and Galactica/Baltar/Caprica Six/Boomer caused them to rethink it. We already know that Caprica and Boomer, the 'heroes of the Cylon' caused the Cylons to change their plan re the planet Caprica (and I suppose all the colonies) as well as New Caprica. Part of the evolution of...

I also thought that Boomer seemed to have a connection to the Galactica during the arming and targeting of the nukes. Plus, they knew so much about the on planet operations. Suggests there is a leak somewhere. The reactions to Baltar were quite accurate. He signed death orders during his...

Bet Adama and Roslin wished they kept a vial or two of the Cylon killing virus around. That would have been a bigger threat than the nukes. The fact that it was not discussed leads me to believe that we've heard the last of that plotline.

WOW. That was amazing. So many developments of all the plotlines that have been set up all season. Lee, Kara, Anders and Dualla. Athena and Hera. The fleet finding out Baltar is alive. Caprica getting excluded from the love triangle. 2 small points that raised questions -- how did the...

BTW, for a sci-fi show: No spaceships. No sfx. No aliens. No gunfire, laser fire. No shots of anything but boxing, a typically old fashioned sport. Two fighters, a ring and gloves. And it was one of the best episodes. I've been dying to find out what could have happened to have driven...

Adama's point was to show that while they have all grown close as friends and surrogate family, 'fighting a man is the same as leading a man.' In the ring, rank doesn't matter. Neither do friendships. They have an awesome responsibility to keep humanity alive and personal relationships and...

Black Market aired on Universal HD on Sunday. The episode where Apollo starts falling for a prostitute who eventually tells him she doesn't want to be 'saved' from her life. She's performing a service for a fee. That's the way Moore's BSG would be expected to handle prostitution. As an aside...

That's right, Phil. Kara and Anders come back from Caprica and act all smoochy in front of Lee and Kara asks him something about him still fracking Dualla. After the one year FF->, Kara calls up to the Pegasus looking for antibiotics for Anders and the looks, tone, etc. of the conversation among...

Friday is a tv void. I'll be sad to not have BSG to sit down with. I dvr it, so I won't miss it, but it was nice to have one show to watch on Fridays. I don't have an issue with the Kara/Tigh relationship. Their peaceful reunion on New Caprica was one of several 'shocking' scenes to emphasize...

Good episode. Just when you concentrate only on 'where can this series go and what new ideas wil they have' the writers take us back to before the attack and something to haunt Adama's past. Great move. There are lots of questions to be answered about Bulldog's escape. Starbuck is already...
